Consulting
Cristine Dahl provides consulting for households, organizations, and professional environments facing complex canine behavior challenges.
​
Her work addresses not only the dog, but also the human dynamics that shape behavior. Many difficult cases are influenced by communication patterns, household structure, and the ways people respond to stress in challenging situations. Cristine works closely with families and professionals to help them understand these dynamics and develop practical, sustainable ways of working with their dogs.
​
Using the Satellite framework, consulting begins with careful observation and assessment of the dog, the people responsible for the dog, and the environment in which the behavior occurs. This process helps identify the relationship and environmental factors influencing the dog’s responses.
​
Cristine consults in a wide range of settings, including private households, shelters, daycare environments, training programs, and other professional canine settings. Consulting is conducted in person and may involve travel depending on the situation.
Private Behavior Consulting
Cristine works directly with households and individual cases through an intensive consulting model designed for complex or persistent behavior issues.
​
Engagements typically begin with in-depth observation and assessment of the dog, the environment, and the human participants involved in the dog’s care. From there, the Satellite framework is used to establish a stable relationship structure and address the factors contributing to the behavior.
​
This work is particularly helpful in cases involving reactivity, aggression, fear, resource conflict, and other challenging behavioral patterns.
​
Travel may be available depending on the situation.
Professional Seminars & Hosted Programs
Cristine also offers professional seminars and hosted programs designed for trainers, breed organizations, training studios, and other canine professionals. These programs introduce the Satellite framework in a structured format that explores the relationship dynamics, environmental analysis, and communication patterns that shape canine behavior. Cristine first presented the Satellite framework publicly during a multi-day professional seminar in New Zealand in 2018.
​
Programs may be tailored for professional audiences or adapted for public educational events hosted by training studios or canine organizations. Cristine particularly enjoys working with host organizations to create seminar experiences that benefit both professionals and the broader dog-owning community.
